A supremely lovely and quietly resonant film. Vicenta, a Cuban woman with the ability to see into the future and converse with spirits, lives harmoniously with her only son until he decides to leave the country. Immersed in a profound crisis, Vicenta departs for a voyage to the heartland of a country where everyone seems to have lost their faith. Vicenta B inhabits the Cuba of the countryside and Santeria, of heart and soul, and of a sustaining inner strength. —KE
